Simple Zazen Timer

Neat basic app for measuring zazen sessions. Perhaps slightly too basic. Pros: Nice default sounds. Measures time correctly. Cons: Missing some configuration options such as setting lead times and automatic multiple interval sessions. Setting time is not very convenient.

It’s amazing how hard it is to build something that seems as simple as a solid meditation timer. I’ve found bugs and limitations with the free ones I’ve tried. I expected for $3.99 that there’d be some additional functionality but it’s just a timer with a ring that can’t be adjusted - that is a huge shortcoming in my eyes considering that this is not a free app.

Good basic timer. The screen stays on the whole time. It would be nice if it was dimmed after a minute. Also having more options for the bell sound, like having three bells at the beginning and end.

Simple and perfect for what I need it for. Great meditation timer! It’s also a handy interval timer , I used it to keep track of my mile pace at the end of a long running event : )

I think this is one of the better ones out there right now, but it pales in comparison to the old timer, Zenso.

I like this app. Especially the delay. I just wish there were more options for the opening and closing bell. I also wish the bell rang out longer and slowly decayed.

This is my favorite app. It is very simple. The bell rings to start and the bell rings to end the meditation. You choose whether to have a countdown and how long to meditate. This is all I need. I have never used an app so consistently. Nothing I don’t need. No bells and whistles. Perfect.

Just what I needed, a timer without extras. The ease of using motivates my to practice stillness throughout the day more.

I was looking for a simple timer that 1) would work on silent with 2) a melodious chime, which would 3) allow me to include a little sound at consistently spaced intervals, and 4) had a countdown. This is almost perfect — all that’s lacking is an option for longer countdown (30 seconds instead of the current max of 15).

I love how simple and to the point this timer is. I used to use insight timer but the graphs and courses took me away from my practice. That’s just my personal experience.
